Atomic Labs just announced Pion! I am so excited about this product as it will capture data without tagging your website. Pion uses packet sniffing to passively capture the entire website interactions. Unlike other solutions that dumb down your data into log files, Pion integrates directly into your web analytics provider's API. This gives you the high quality of data you can get from page tags, without the associated hassles and privacy issues.

A good way to measure how many calls your client is receiving from visitors that have javascript turned off is to have the default number also be a single tracking number. While you may lose which keyword or ad drove the call you will still have the call data to show your client. Jen,
Great post. A good way to measure how many calls your client is receiving from visitors that have javascript turned off is to have the default number also be a single tracking number. While you may lose which keyword or ad drove the call you will still have the call data to show your client.

Uhmmm... hello Java and Javascript are very different from each other. "Google Analytics does not track the percentage of visitors who do not have JavaScript enabled (what you are seeing is Java support not JavaScript support, there is a difference). If the visitor does not have JavaScript enabled, GA will never see them at all. Therefore GA is showing you only visitors who have JavaScript enabled." http://www.google.com/support/forum/p/Google+Analytics/thread?tid=02bfeb8f83433120&hl=en “Also included in this section is Java Support where you can see how many visitors don’t have JavaScript enabled.”
